Interview and Pattern in Harlow Magazine
| 2 Comments on Interview and Pattern in Harlow Magazine
Go check out the latest issue of Harlow Magazine! Issue No. 4! I have been having a little trouble getting on their site, so you can purchase an issue (print and/or digital) from MagCloud.
There’s a brand new pattern in there, too, which is really easy for beginners!!!
Everything’s Better with Sprinkles
| 10 Comments on Everything’s Better with SprinklesI was putting sprinkles on a kabillion cupcake scarves the other day, and I dreamily gazed upon my cake stand full of rainbow mini pom poms.
At that moment, I wondered what it would be like to have a big ring covered in these pom poms!
Tada!
This was the first try. I can’t really tell if it would have any appeal to people who are not obsessed with pom poms to begin with…!
If I made more, I would probably coat the base of the ring with glitter or something first, because it’s kind of lame to be able to see the silver through the spaces in the pom poms. I tried to pack them in there as best I could, but there are still gaps.
Work in progress!
Happy Easter!
| 12 Comments on Happy Easter!We are going to Manda’s house to celebrate Easter since it’s her most favorite holiday of the year.
I made rice krispy treats, decorated with bunnymallows!
Also, at 4am, I decided I needed an Easter-themed hair clip, so I made myself a bunnycupcake barrette! I panicked on the face and would probably do it a lot differently given more time, but I think it turned out pretty cute on the first try!
Happy Sunday!
Twinkie Chan Savings BondBons
| 28 Comments on Twinkie Chan Savings BondBonsMy friend Dena lives in my old neighborhood and is very involved in her kids’ elementary school there. They are putting on a charity event soon in the ‘hood with food and performers and auctions to benefit the school. She asked if I could donate some goodies, and I said sure!
Part of our goodie packet is coupons! I’ve never made a coupon for my shop before, so I whipped some up super quick-like. Bei joked on Twitter that I should “make them look like fake money with your excited face in the middle!” so I DID. Note my always-awesome photoshop skillz. I was also super proud of myself for making them double-sided and aligning everything correctly in the printer!
I would like to offer gift certificates in my Etsy shop in the future, but I’m doubting they will look like this :P.
If you are local and want to attend the benefit event and get your hands on my silly currency, check out Taste of Potrero!
Okay this is part where I just get really dumb, cuz, I just got my most awesome sunglasses EVER IN THE HISTORY OF EVER from my buddy Kerin Rose, and when’s the next time I’ll be taking photos of myself with “money” that’s got my face on it? Probably never.
I’ll understand if you stop reading my blog from now on. No shame. That’s me.
I don’t need to take these off in the shower, right?
WIWT: Little Monster, plus, Etsy update!
| 13 Comments on WIWT: Little Monster, plus, Etsy update!Okay, I have not watched very much Yo Gabba Gabba at ALL, but I think I belong on the show, RIGHT?!
I picked up this comfy baggy monster sweater from Lazy Oaf when I was in London. It was kind of this rigmarole because apparently the U.S. and Spain are some of the few countries who still use swipe credit cards. Everyone else uses credit cards with little microchip thingies in them. So it was like none of the girls at the shop knew how to conduct the transaction with my stupid American swipe card!!! Thankfully, they worked it out!
The leggings were a gift from my buddy Marissa. I heart that they actually have room for a butt in them, and they don’t fall down! The polka dots are shiny metallic silver!
I still don’t know how I feel about me in baggy tops and leggings. It’s comfy, but I feel really sloppy and not really “me.” But jeans everyday are so boring, so I think I will still try out mixing it up a bit!
I also added a few new items to my Etsy shop. Pancake scarves, a strawberry scarf, and some super cute cupcake coffee cup cozies with new strawberry toppers! Sorry the update is so tiny, but we are hard at work building stock for Renegade Austin (May 21-22) and also Yummy You factory samples.
I know I don’t talk about it much, cuz I don’t really know how to approach it, but there has obviously been a little break in Yummy You news. We are re-grouping, learning from last year, and building an awesome and stronger team. Bigger things on the horizon!! Wait till you see what happens!! This is all a new experience for me, and it will take some time to iron out all the kinks, but I so appreciate everyone following along and supporting me on this adventure!
